    Battling with blemishes, under-eye circles or pigmentation? Add this to your shopping basket

    If you have problems with blemishes, under-eye circles or pigmentation, Maybelline’s Fit Me Concealer may just be your ultimate beauty hero. It's one of the best concealers you'll use.

    According to Allure, the concealer has been gaining serious hype on Reddit, with users applauding the £5.99 tube saying:

    ‘I'm on my fourth tube and it's honestly the most hydrating, non-cakey, full coverage concealer I've ever tried.’

    ‘I wish they would make this into a foundation! Every time I use it I think this would be the a great foundation!’

    So it’s little surprise that beauty bloggers have been championing it too.

    Make-up artist turned beauty vlogger, Jaclyn Hill, has admitted to repurchasing the Maybelline Fit Me Concealer time and time again because of its perfect coverage and consistency. ‘I have tried several concealers from the drugstore, and I just have not fallen in love with any except this one’, she said. ‘I really, really love the consistency of this one, it’s nice and sheer but it has buildable coverage’, she went on to explain.

    Another fan is legendary make-up artist, Lisa Eldridge, who recommends it in her #FlawlessFriday! Five drugstore concealers that really work post, saying ‘if you don’t wear a full face of foundation but want to cover imperfections this is a great option. It comes in six good shades and offers medium coverage that’s really blendable, so you can build it up if you need to (although I find that a little goes a long way). It also sets well, which makes it good for covering spots and blemishes that need long-lasting coverage.’
